EPRO

What EPRO does

EPRO Services, Inc. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of building envelope protection systems, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. The company designs, produces, and supplies proprietary waterproofing membranes, vapor intrusion barriers, air barriers, and leak repair coatings and gels for commercial, residential, and brownfield remediation construction projects. Its product portfolio spans four families — Waterproofing (PreTak, HotDeck, E.Protect+), Vapor Intrusion Mitigation (the Geo-Seal line including the patented Geo-Seal 100 triple-layer composite, plus Geo-Seal EV80, EV40s, EV20, EFC, and Vapor-Vent/e.vent venting systems), Air Barrier Systems (Ecoflex-S, Ecoflex-R, Ecoflex-PS), and Leak Repair, Coatings and Sealant Systems (XT1, XT5, ViperFlex). The underlying technology relies on proprietary composite material science combining EVOH, HDPE, polymer-modified asphalt, urethane coatings, and acrylamide gel chemistries, validated by independent third-party testing.

EPRO sells primarily through a sales-led, channel-based go-to-market: regional sales representatives (the 'Find A Rep' network), a certified applicator installer network, and direct quote requests. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales of membranes, coatings, and venting systems, supplemented by professional services tied to certified installation, with warranties (E.Assurance NDL, Labor & Material) supporting the offering. Customers are construction companies, building developers, environmental remediation firms, and specifying architects and engineers addressing below-grade waterproofing, brownfield vapor intrusion (VOCs, chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, methane), and above-grade air barrier needs. The company reports 30 years of operating history, over 100 million square feet cumulatively installed, and holds key regulatory approvals including City and County of Los Angeles and NSF certifications. Headcount is 101-250 employees, and EPRO is founder-led by David Polk (Co-Founder, Principal & CEO).
